ColdplayingfromKansas Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Do you know how many times I have listened to Clocks ? But only four weeks ago did I begin consciously noticing the Clocks pad that floats in the background of the song. No kidding ! And only two months ago did I notice the looping underlying melody of Only Superstition that is very subtle and which you may not notice if you focus on the vocals. It took me an embarrassingly long time to hear Guy's bassline on Clocks, and it's arguably the second most important element of that song :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play piano and whenever I play clocks most of the left hand is the baseline instead of chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doolittle2008 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I've always been confused - Is his bassline the one that mimics the "home, home, where I wanted to go" melody throughout the song, (in the chorus at least)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that would make it easier then. All of my musical experience comes from the clarinet and all the various saxophones :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeekendHymn94 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Okay can someone please explain to me why everybody bashes Coldplay production what the hell does it even mean I'm so confused. Like I don't think songs are good because the layers are well arranged, I like songs because I like the melodies and music!! The melodies are great, but I can look back and see how production kinda screwed up a song. Chris's voice on HLH. Love listening to the live version, but I get bothered by the studio versions vocals on the verses. AND PARADISE! Love the live version, I had a problem with the studio version having the strings be most of the sound. Why not combine that with Chris on piano and Johnny on guitar when the song first starts?

Strawberry Swinger Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Only heard the live version so far and I truly hope it is not that messed up on the record. Many compare it to U2 but to me this is the most Coldplay song so far frok this album. And the only one I fully like so far :( including Up&Up...

Eskapist Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 This is a STUNNING record. Their best opener since Politik in my opinion and i'm not ashamed to say it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Can't wait to hear this song as the opener in a concert. It is going to be M A S S I V E ! ! ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the only one I fully like so far :( including Up&Up... it'a little messed up :cry: i mean....everything's good, but Johnny's guitar is pretty much "buried", especially on the last 'a head full, a head full of dreams' before the bridge. on the live version is very prominent and it goes so well with Chris' voice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobabe Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 it'a little messed up :cry: i mean....everything's good, but Johnny's guitar is pretty much "buried", especially on the last 'a head full, a head full of dreams' before the bridge. on the live version is very prominent and it goes so well with Chris' voice I thought the same thing. They should've allowed that guitar to sorta...overtake the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftrightleftArchi Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ok, just finished listening to the track. The live version vocals are WAAYY better than the studio. Was Chris sick or something when they recorded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBalloon Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ah, that would make it easier then. All of my musical experience comes from the clarinet and all the various saxophones :P Is that partially due to the natural atmosphere of Jazz&Blues tradition of Kansas City?

Was Chris sick or something when they recorded? I think that for most of the album actually. I am very disappointed with Chris' vocals on this album.

Ennosuke Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I like this song, but the beginning of the song is a rollercoaster for me. It starts beautiful, then it gets like "meh, what is this?" for 10 seconds and when this is over, the song remains at a decent level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odvan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Easily one of the best songs on AHFOD So far, but that's coldplay, you never now what would grow in a month or after live gig. I digged Paradise only after live in Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a vocal effect on some parts, it reminded me a little of the backing vocals in Hurts Like Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astraleuphoria Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 U2 influences on this one. I really like the song! A mix of X&Y and MX's vibes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
